This was great!This was great! I didn't have a 9" springform pan so I used a regular pan. The recipie worked exactly the same. I followed the recipie as instructed to, but at the end I carefully flipped mine upside down. Also, you may want to season the puffed pastery before putting in the pan. I used some oregano and a teaspoon of garlic salt mixed with garlic powder. The redipie came out great. Also, add into your egg-wash some freshly ground black pepper for a kick. Serve with a store bought honey mustard glaze blended with cream, flour, and sugar. Drizzle over the top, and there you have it. A dinner that will satisfy even the most picky people and is a fan-favorite.

This is a great breakfast/brunch recipe!This is a great breakfast/brunch recipe! The picture here doesn't do justice to the intensity of the colors - the green of the spinach flecked with the red of the red pepper. This was the first time I had ever used the frozen pastry sheets, but it was so easy, and very impressive looking. It is a refreshing change from the typical breakfast quiche/casseroles that all seem to have the same ingredients. I will be making this again before then, I'm sure, but I defintely want to have this during the Christmas Holidays because it is so festive looking. I highly recommend this recipe!

I had company for 2 weeks over the holidays.I had company for 2 weeks over the holidays. The third day they were here, we had a large lunch and wanted something lighter for dinner. I made this recipe with a salad and it was a great hit as an evening meal. We had the other half for Christmas brunch two days later with fruit and it tasted even better after the ingredients married. My guests requested this recipe again before they went home. On my second effort I added a couple more strips of bacon and more spices. This is now a family favorite and the next time I will add green chile.

I have made this recipe numerous times.I have made this recipe numerous times. I prefer the 13x9 version; much better presentation and the pastry bakes up real nice. I use the whole container of ricotta cheese. I also use precooked bacon crumbles and add to each layer at my discretion (we have bacon lovers)! My daughter adds the cheddar cheese (we love that too) so it probably is more than what is called for. All in all the recipe is a BIG HIT with all the family. No complaints about the taste at all and this includes the extended family of in-laws, etc. Would highly recommend!!

We loved this!We loved this! I had some major troubles baking it because my springform pan (a hand me down that I'd never used before) must not have a good seal on it so cooking spray was dripping out and burning at the bottom of my oven, setting off my smoke detector multiple times. I baked it the night before then reheated at 350 for 30 mins as recommended in the morning. I substituted in broccoli instead of spinach because my 2 year old loves eggie pie (quiche) with broccoli and sure enough she gobbled it up! I also used breakfast sausage instead of bacon because that's what I had on hand, and I added some chopped onion instead of red pepper because again, that's what I had! Now that I know to put a pan below the springform, I will certainly make this again!

I made this for a post-holiday brunch, and everyone loved it.I made this for a post-holiday brunch, and everyone loved it. It does require some planning to defrost the spinach and the puff pastry, but it is well worth the effort. I did prepare the recipe in the spring-form pan the night before, covered and refrigerated it as the recipe described. The next morning I baked it for a little over an hour, removed the sides of the springform pan, and it looked and tasted great. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

I did doctor it up a bit based on other reviewers saying it was bland. I sauteed the red peppers along with chopped mushrooms, a few chopped green onions and seasoned with seasoned salt, pepper and a bit of dried thyme. I only used one box of spinach which was perfect given the other ingredients I added. I had many compliments! This is definitely staying in my recipe book!
